The bases, taken three at a time, form triplets known as codons that each represent one amino acid. Since there are four bases, there are 4^3 = 64 possible codons, each of which represents one of 20 amino acids. Thus the code has built-in redundancy, i.e., some codes can be altered by mutation without affecting which amino acid is coded for.
What else can I help you with?
What part of nucleotide contains the genetic code?
strand of DNA
The genetic code of a DNA molecule is determined by a specific sequence of?
Molecular bases
What percent of the nucleotide bases in the human genome actually carries genetic information?
The nucleotide bases comprise the genetic information, they are the "digits" of the code, they make up the genes. As such your question is meaningless.
How many nucleotide bases are there in 24 codons?
There are three nucleotide Bases for each codon, so the Answer is 72 bases.
Which are attached to the sides or railings of DNA which are made up of?
The sides or railings of DNA consist of sugar-phosphate backbones, to which nucleotide bases are attached. The nucleotide bases are the adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G) that form the genetic code within the DNA molecule.
How many bases are needed to specifiy an amino acid?
I'm not fully sure of your question, but if you are asking how many nucleotide bases are needed, then the answer is 3. Three nucleotide bases of DNA will translate to mRNA and these will code for tRNA anticodons, which carry one amino acid with them.
What type of nucleotide bases do a a bear and raccoon have in common?
Bears and raccoons, like all mammals, share the same four nucleotide bases in their DNA: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). These bases pair together to form the genetic code that is fundamental to all living organisms. While the specific sequences of these bases may differ, the presence of these four bases is a commonality across many species in the animal kingdom.
What kind of code do all organisms carry in a molecule?
The genetic code is stored in the sequence of nucleotide bases in DNA molecules in cells. The genetic code is stored in the sequence of nucleotide bases in either DNA or RNA molecules in viruses, depending on species. A few archaebacteria seem to use a slightly different genetic code.
How do the the nucleotide bases form a code?
The bases, taken three at a time, form triplets known as codons that each represent one amino acid. Since there are four bases, there are 4^3 = 64 possible codons, each of which represents one of 20 amino acids. Thus the code has built-in redundancy, i.e., some codes can be altered by mutation without affecting which amino acid is coded for.
Does DNA have thymine as one of its four nucleotide bases"?
Yes, DNA does have thymine as one of its four nucleotide bases.
Does the analogy prove that three bases code for an amino acid?
No, the analogy doesn't directly prove that three bases code for an amino acid. However, it helps understand the concept that the genetic code is written in groups of three nucleotide bases called codons that code for specific amino acids.
Does DNA contain thymine as one of its nucleotide bases?
Yes, DNA contains thymine as one of its four nucleotide bases.
